The Siniteen were a humanoid sentient species that were native to Mileva. They were able to calculate a hyperspace jump without the aid of a computer because of their levels of hyperintelligence. They had pale skin, pupilless eyes, oversized heads, and large and advanced brains able to perform these types of calculations.^[1] as was

History

Siniteens in the Galaxy

Around 160 BBY,^[4] an ill-mannered Siniteen named Hudor Plinkythuj served on the Council of Elders on Cerifisis, representing the southern region. He had a permanent sneer and carried himself with contempt, believing himself too intelligent to accommodate others’ agendas. During a meeting with Mayor Lansa and her brother Kavil, Plinkythuj displayed annoyance in his posture and tone. Plinkythuj joined the other council members in deception, and complained about grain taxes and land allotments. When the Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh was brought in to meet the elders, he accused the council of treachery and questioned the presence of a Jedi. Despite the performance, he was far less agitated than he appeared, delivering a display that rivaled several holodramas the Jedi had seen.^[5]

Around 33 BBY,^[6] the bounty hunter Aurra Sing pursued a mission to Hallitron-7. She broke in through the ceiling to Chevin Renzoh Silliac's office, only to find herself held at blaster point by multiple thugs, including a Siniteen. Using her assassin skills, Sing quickly incapacitated the thugs. She kicked a chair into the Siniteen, knocking him over, and simultaneously shoved a Bith, who accidentally shot the Siniteen, killing them.^[7]

The Siniteen^[8] pirate^[9] Hal'Sted was the person responsible for taking Asajj Ventress away from the Nightsisters^[10] when the Nightsisters owed a debt to him.^[11] Hal'Sted and Ventress lived together for some time on Rattatak following this.^[11] Hal'Sted was later killed by Nikto pirates and Assaj was taken in by Jedi Knight Ky Narec.^[12]

During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic hired the Siniteen mercenary Bric as a drill sergeant and Master Chief to train various clone cadet squads on Kamino. In Tipoca City, he oversaw cadet instruction alongside the Arcona bounty hunter El-Les. Bric personally trained the disobedient unit Domino Squad, overseeing their drills and enforcing harsh discipline.^[13]

Toward the end of Domino Squad’s training, Bric and El-Les joined Jedi Master Shaak Ti in the Military Complex Training Facility of Tipoca City. From a secure observation deck overlooking the chamber, the trio watched Domino Squad practice for its final exam, the Citadel Challenge, in which the cadets faced battle droids and attempted to secure a flag atop a tower. Bric observed the squad’s lack of teamwork, which caused them to fail the exercise. Later, when Hevy and Echo began fighting in the barracks, Bric intervened angrily, breaking up the brawl and scolding the clones for their behavior.^[13]

When the squad failed the Citadel Challenge after leaving an injured Droidbait behind, Bric considered reassigning them to maintenance duty. He later singled out Cutup, attempting to provoke him, but the cadet did not retaliate, earning Bric’s anger. For the squad’s retake of the Citadel Challenge, Bric removed their ascension cables to make the test more difficult. Despite this, Domino Squad improvised and successfully completed the exercise. Shaak Ti credited Bric’s harsh methods with bringing out the squad’s potential, and Bric, alongside El-Les, congratulated the clones before their deployment to the front lines.^[13]

In 21 BBY^[14] the Pantoran chairman Papanoida arrived at Jabba's Palace with his son Ion in search of Greedo, whom he suspected of abducting his daughters, Chi Eekway and Che Amanwe. At the time, Greedo was gambling with Brainee and a Weequay when Trella Bare'Ah, his Twi'lek partner, warned him of Papanoida’s inquiries. Greedo, Brainee, and the Weequay attempted to seize Papanoida and Ion, but the baron overpowered them and took Greedo captive at vibroblade-point. Papanoida then brought the group before Jabba, where he presented evidence that forced Greedo to confess his involvement in the kidnappings. Brainee stood next to Greedo when he confessed to kidnapping the Chairman's daughters.^[2] A Siniteen was present walking down the street in the Lower market districts on Coruscant when Cad Bane was tracking C-3PO and R2-D2.^[15]

The Siniteen Bec Lawise served as the Separatist Congress Leader in the Confederacy of Independent Systems^[16] in 21 BBY.^[17] He supported the Confederate–Republic peace initiative in the hope of achieving a diplomatic end to the Clone Wars.^[16] Lawsie attended a peace conference on Mandalore. The meeting was interrupted by Lux Bonteri, the son of the late Mina Bonteri, who claimed that his mother had been murdered in cold blood. Lawise was outraged at Bonteri’s presence and stated he was lying before ordering commando droids to arrest him.^[18]

In 19 BBY, Lawise was sent by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to Scipio to oversee the transition of leadership within the InterGalactic Banking Clan following the arrest of the Core Five. He arrived ahead of Republic Senator Padmé Amidala and welcomed Rush Clovis upon his return to the planet, expressing confidence in his appointment. Lawise accompanied Clovis and Amidala into the Banking Clan’s Main Vault, where the former leaders were sentenced and removed, and supported Clovis’s confirmation as head of the banks. Soon afterward, Clovis announced a sudden increase in Republic loan interest rates, a decision that caught Lawise by surprise. Before the delegations could depart, Count Dooku arrived with Separatist forces and occupied Scipio. Lawise was brought to Clovis’s office, where he objected to Dooku’s actions and attempted to prevent the arrest of Amidala, warning that it would not be sanctioned by the Separatist Senate. Dooku ignored the protest and used the Force to compel Amidala to fire upon Lawise, killing him instantly.^[19]

A Siniteen on Coruscant was present near Coruscant's Central power distribution grid when it was bombed in a droid suicide attack.^[16] Nim Mindbend was a Siniteen bounty hunter wanted dead for the act of kidnapping, theft and murder with a prize of 120,000 credits ^[20] in 20 BBY.^[21] A hologram of the Mindbend was discussed as a potential target by a group of bounty hunters at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina on Tatooine.^[20]

Pons Limbic was a Siniteen who was nicknamed "Brainiac" for his ability to mentally calculate hyperspace jumps.^[22] He frequented^[1] Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley spaceport on Tatooine,^[23] and in 1 BBY,^[4] sat in a a table at the establishment with Hem Dazon, Bom Vimdin, Arleil Schous, and Braconnor Bakiska.^[22] He was refreshing himself^[24] when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker entered the cantina seeking a pilot to take them to Alderaan.^[25]

Limbic and Vimdin were present in the cantina again after the Battle of Yavin^[26], in 0 ABY^[27] when the bounty hunter Boba Fett arrived seeking information on Luke Skywalker. They remained silent.^[26]

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin a Siniteen sat in a bar on Nar Shaddaa next to a Abyssin when Luke Skywalker entered. The Unidentified Zabrak bartender ordered the patrons to attack and rob Skywalker, and the Siniteen followed the command, only to be punched in the face by Skywalker.^[28] Later, a Siniteen sat in a casino] gambling with Han Solo. Solo was using the Rebellion’s money, claiming he was merely doubling it, but he was cheating. When the other patrons discovered his deceit, they ran him out of the cantina without recovering the stolen funds.^[29] In 3 ABY^[30] when Boba Fett entered a Gladiator championship on Nar Shaddaa, a Siniteen cheered on the fighters in the stands of the Garkata Fighting Arena when Boba crushed every opponent.^[31]

Golas Aram was a hover chair-bound Siniteen who designed prisons for the Galactic Empire, including the conversion of the ancient ship Ashmead's Lock on Kashyyyk. He retired to a heavily fortified compound on Irudiru, isolating himself from others. Aram was captured by Han Solo and Norra Wexley while they searched for the imprisoned Wookiee Chewbacca. Sinjir Rath Velus interrogated him, forcing Aram to reveal information about the prison. Despite this, Aram withheld Ashmead’s Lock’s access codes, and the group had to fight through its defenses to reach Chewbacca.^[32]
